McG posted. Apparently Dumbledore has been found, but why is McG acting as Headmistress for the rest of term?

O_O that doesn't sound good. Not at all. o_o.........

But is he in there for injuries, or because he's insane?

Is it wise to leave SIRIUS in charge? Poor thing, as if he didn't have enough to deal with.

In a way, I think it may be for the best. Sirius seems to not know what to do with himself. If anything, it gives him something to think of and focus on. He obviously cannot do anything for Remus, aside from mourning, and I have no idea what's going on with him and Harry, but being in charge will give Sirius something else to think about.

Yes. St Mungo's this does scream.
Maybe Dumbledore was really working for Voldie the whole time (this goes along with all of my other VERY STRANGE AND UNLIKELY theories :D)

Oh, dear. The fact that students are supposed to check their wands for jinxes and hexes doesn't... sound... good.

Do you think that the student who killed Lisa was maybe under a curse like Imperius? Or that maybe it wasn't *meant* (to kill her, I mean)? (with the wand checking that is now going on)
Or maybe had something to do with Dumbledore too?
The wand checking is ominous also. I am glad they don't want to collect the wands again. It seems that we may be beginning to get more information as of last night-ish...so hopefully we can find out WHAT HAPPENED!!?? Arg!

I think something is wrong with Dumbledore and it is requiring the wand check, maybe. Perhaps he is evil or deluded and senile. Or perhaps somebody is under Imperius or something horrid. The suspense, man, the suspense. :|

Maybe they're going to check the wands for the last curses used--you know, to see who killed Lisa. Only a few people had theirs, after all, so it's not like the killing curse would show up. Hmm. I rather like this theory.
(parent)| bloodybrilliant @ June 29 2004, 15:32:03 UTC |
Yes. This is true. Hmm. I hope we do find out *something*. Soon. -ish.

Popping up the Polyjuiced!Dumbledore theory.
To my mind, "they" asked for a wand check in order to prevent what happened: Harry's wand reacting with Voldemort's. Remove the wand, remove the advantage.
| moocow1985 @ June 28 2004, 22:54:52 UTC |
I agree that the Dumbledore being in St. Mungos and the need to check wands for hexes supports the polyjuice!Dumbledore theory.
(And also i really don't want to believe that he could be evil.)

...but a very unhappy house-elf was already there waiting for him and told me that he was out with the Head Boy.
Perhaps I'm just running the wrong way with this, but Dumbledore isn't seen -- or at least it's never mentioned that he's been seen that I can find -- after he's out with the Head Boy (as mentioned in previous posts), so perhaps something happened in that meeting, perhaps something that might have forced Dumbledore away from Hogwarts or even worse, that something might have happened to Dumbledore in that meeting, which would tie in with McGonagall's visit to St. Mungo's in that post where she is, presumably, visiting Dumbledore.
The "unhappy house elf" bit worries me slightly, as well, as when Dobby was unhappy in the books, it was because he knew something that he couldn't stop, but bound as he was (and probably a good bit more obedient than Dobby was), he couldn't do anything but stand there in front of the office and deny admission to Lisa.
If that makes any sense at all, that is.

Erk, and to clarify, that italicized bit came from Lisa's post here (http://www.livejournal.com/users/turpinol/10952.html), second paragraph.

I thought this initially too, but on 22 June, Dean posted: "Yesterday wasn't too bad, though. I admit I was a bit disappointed the Headmaster didn't wear his red striped beanie." which suggested to me that Dumbledore was seen on 21 June. Which doesn't mean that the Head Boy didn't do something to him--replace him with a Polyjuice impersonator, or something else--but we do have to account for his being seen on 21 June as well.

Interesting that people are going with the polyjuiced Dumbledore theory. My first reaction was that perhaps Dumbledore's wand had been hexed. A confundus spell, for instance. That would explain both the wand check and the trip to St. Mungo's after Dumbledore had been found.
Only thing is, how would they get hold of his wand in the first place? I suppose, being able to do wandless magic, he might guard it less carefully than someone unable to do so. He has been shown to leave important objects, such as a used pensieve, less secure than they should have been.
